This was a travel day so Peg and I saddled up at Niagara’s Hartland and boogied for Jefferson, OH. The first 15 miles going south on Gasport Road and then turning east on Hwy 93 until we reached Hwy 78 was conquered quickly. Once we got on south 78, also foolishly called Transit Road, we foundered. Transit Road or 78 southbound is a section of highway apparently engineered by fiends whose only purpose in life is to foul up traffic by making sure nobody can drive through two sequential sets of lights without stopping for nothing. Our second twenty miles today took one hour and twenty minutes, giving an average speed on this primary arterial road of 15 miles per hour.
We stupidly continued down 78 until we made it to Hwy 20 where we turned west. Only 10 or 15 miles of periodic, hidden traffic signals and we broke clear of the giant, confused suburbia surrounding Buffalo. It was smooth sailing westbound and we zoomed onto Hwy 5 until we hit the Pennsylvania line. Here we hopped on I-90 west to Ohio, continuing until we went southbound on a road called 45 that promptly delivered us to our destination of Kenisee Lakes, a TT campground just south of Jefferson, OH.
The campground is quite large with full hookups but lousy wi-fi and no TV reception over the antenna as fibbed about by park staff. The sites are big with ample space between RVs and folks seem pretty happy here. We got set up in a great level spot with some shade and settled down for some congratulatory porter.
It was a long haul today for us driving wimps so we barbecued some steak and retired to the trailer for some movies and loafing.
